disability living benefits

[IainBusby]

thank you sir pete for your advice, its just that my husband's council tax community charge has just arrived ( he declared im here in the uk in the council tax offices) and he seems to loss his benefit on it..i mean not only the 25% living alone but all the benefits also. We tried to phone the council and they said that cause im here it will be taken off. My husband is prepared to pay that its just that his also been in dla thats why his apprehensive that, that might also be taken off.. his been on dla for 3 years cause his house has been on fire and he was badly burn cause of it..still suffering cause of it up until now really.Thanks again for the advice.

The only thing he should lose is the 25% single occupant discount. When you say "but all the benefits also",what other benefits do you mean?

I'm presuming he's receiving some sort of additional council tax benefit as well which he would lose.

one thing you do need to make sure of, is that he doesn't receive more money of any benefit's because your living with him.
